Get a grip on every start and turn! CTS AquaGrip® touchpads for competitive swimming feature the patented AquaGrip® texture over the foundation of a tough plastic backbone.

The AquaGrip® touchpads combine the best swimming start and turning surface available with the proven design that all Colorado Time Systems’ touchpads have used for over forty years. These competitive swimming touchpads respond to a touch that’s remarkably light – but provide a push-off  for backstroke swimming starts and turns that’s thoroughly firm. AquaGrip® touchpads have all-plastic construction that is tough and durable, yet their textured, non-skid surface is gentle on swimmers’ hands and feet. The solid quarter inch plastic backbone, molded one-piece connectors and non-corrosive finish provide long-lasting reliability.

FEATURES

  • Easy to Install, Stays in Place
    Whether you are looking to update your current aquatic facility, or are in the process of new pool construction, the AquaGrip® swimming touchpad set-up is easy, thanks to our mounting system customized for your competitive swimming pool. They hold your AquaGrip® touchpads in place without hardware or holes (in most pools) and prevent unwanted vertical and lateral movement. Best of all, you don’t need any tools. Our AquaGrip® touchpads can even be left in the water for the duration of a competitive swimming meet.
  • Sensitive to the Lightest Touch
    Dependable, internally sealed switches record even the lightest swimmers’ touch on the fully active face of all CTS AquaGrip® touchpads, and also along the top edge of gutter-mounted pads. You get an accurate finish every time with no “dead spots.”
  • A Perfect Size for Every Lane
    At Colorado Time Systems, we will help you select the perfect AquaGrip® touchpad for your facility. Choose from standard-sized flat wall or gutter mounts. Custom widths are available.
